The problem asks to find how many square feet are in 1 acre, given that each square on the map represents $\frac{1}{20}$ of an acre.

Solution:

1. Step 1: Conversion of Acres to Square Feet

   • 1 acre is equivalent to 43,560 square feet. This is a standard conversion factor.

2. Step 2: Calculate the number of square feet in $\frac{1}{20}$ acre $\frac{1}{20} \text{ acre} = \frac{1}{20} \times 43,560 \text{ square feet}$ $= \frac{43,560}{20} = 2,178 \text{ square feet}$

Thus, each square on the map represents 2,178 square feet.
